Chichester Baptist Church Sermons

We could be excused for thinking that the Ten Commandments are predictable, negative and irrelevant for today, but we would be badly mistaken. Having delivered the Israelites from slavery, God now makes them a generous offer to become his treasured possession. It's to a rescued, willing and prepared people that the Ten Commandments are given, and they are timely expressions of love for God and for one another. In the first of the Ten Commandments, God requires exclusive loyalty for us, because our relationship to him is as precious as the closest of human relationships.
